This is the best, Carlotta repeatedly reassured herself. He had to keep this a secret from Alessandro. Better her son grow up alone with her, but full of love. Rather than having a father, but never getting his father's love.

Like Carlotta.

He grew up alone in the Marinelli family home. Her father was never there for her. His mother left him. He didn't want his son to feel the same. Ferrara may be the richest family in Italy, but his son is not a wanted child. Carlotta was afraid that her son would be required to continue Ferrara's success without caring for himself.

Just look at Alessandro. All the man did was drown himself in the work. His achievements were repeatedly reviewed in business magazines. He was described as the leader of a successful company. But did he get the love of his family? Carlotta is not sure.

Carlotta has to protect her son. He would not let his son be miserable.

After all, Carlotta felt that she also did not want a marriage without love. Her parents' home life has given her a lot of trauma.

Yeah, better keep it this way. However, why did it feel so hard to see Alessandro turn his back and walk away without a word?

Carlotta wants to call him. Carlotta misses him. In the depths of his heart, Carlotta wanted to bury herself in the father's arms of her baby. The bustling atmosphere of the market and the bright shining sun were the opposite of his somber heart. He was lonely, feeling like he was standing alone in this world. Tears slowly came down her cheeks. This time he didn't care anymore people looked at him. When Alessandro had disappeared behind the corner, Carlotta sobbed.

Alessandro doesn't love her. If the man loved him, then the Marinelli family would not have been as devastated as it is now. If Alessandro loved her, then the man would not have committed the abuse that got Carlotta through this. And if the man loved her, then he would dispute Carlotta's statement about the other women who went in and out of her house.

Carlotta won't compete with them. There must be a lot of women surrounding Alessandro right now. And if Alessandro had been with some of them, it would not have guaranteed Alessandro would not have done it again.

Alessandro has changed. In the past, maybe only Carlotta could get the guy. All the other girls in the school looked down on the young man. Despite being incredibly handsome and smart, no girl from the upper class would want to be close to him. There's nothing but Carlotta.

Now, Carlotta also began to doubt their love in youth. Did Alessandro approach him because he was the only one who looked easy to get? Was it because she was the only naive girl who didn't care about the status of others in school? Has Alessandro really noticed it since he was eight, or is it just Alessandro's flirtation?

Carlotta no longer knew what was right and what was wrong.

Alessandro had promised his grandfather to stop drinking. However, after meeting Carlotta again today, it felt like it was an impossible promise. Alessandro returned to his important show with a disheveled appearance. Her hair is no longer neatly combed. Face's tangled. His eyes were red with emotion. His hand moved tugging at the tie that seemed to be tied too tight.

The man doesn't care about anyone else anymore. He went to the drink table and instead of taking a glass of champagne, Alessandro picked up a bottle that had not been opened. Some servants were about to prevent, but not dare. Alessandro opened the champagne bottle with his teeth, then downed the contents like swallowing mineral water. Not enough to get there, Alessandro poured the rest of the champagne in a bottle to his head.

The weather is hot. So is his mood.

"Carlotta's pregnant." Alessandro says.

Lombardi was about to congratulate, but immediately abandoned his intentions when he saw Alessandro's current condition. Instead, he asked the question, "Is that your child?"

Alessandro. "Maybe Johann von Schiller's son. Or Roberto Mancini."

Lombardi closed his mouth tightly, enduring the shock.

"I'm going to make the baby's father responsible. We're going to Rome to see Johann first." Alessandro growled low. "If Johann doesn't admit it, we go to London to drag Roberto Mancini home."

Lombardi blocked Alessandro's path. "You can't do that, Signor. You can't interfere."

"Soge, Lombardi."

"No, Signor. You have much more important business here. It inaugurates a subsidiary with potential clients. You could lose hundreds of millions of dollars if you waste this opportunity."

Alessandro scrambled his hair in frustration. Then, consciousness returned to him. True, he must not confuse the work he has built with sweat and tears.

"I'll refresh myself first. I'll be back before the inauguration. You stay here and take care of everything." Alessandro snatched the key to one of his sports cars from Lombardi's front pocket. "I'll drive myself."

"You just had a drink." Lombardi took the keys back.

Alessandro snatched back the key as fast as lightning. "I'm not drunk."

Before Lombardi issued a further protest, Alessandro walked quickly out of there and into his car. Without caring too much about the crowded streets, he maneuvered lightning and drove at full speed.

Alessandro's ancient Roman-style castello was built in the Veneto countryside. The landscape is very beautiful, hilly, surrounded by wineries that produce the best wine. The deserted country roads made Alessandro's car slide smoothly without obstacles. The northern Italian sun shines on the green trees, calming the heart.

However, Carlotta's shadow of sleeping with another man irritated Alessandro to death. It keeps pressing the gas and almost never hits the brakes. The car was speeding like flying. The man gripped tightly at the wheel, trying to vent the rumbling anger within the chest.

"Yes! I slept with a lot of guys! Do you think I can only have a once-in-a-lifetime sexual experience, with coercion? I also want to look for sexual experiences I did because I wanted to!"

Carlotta's words continued to ring in Alessandro's mind, making the man drive like a doormat.

Who did Carlotta do it with? Damnit! Alessandro repeatedly felt remorse for hurting Carlotta and made the girl run into another man's arms. Alessandro was angry at Carlotta for choosing another man, but he was actually more angry at himself for indirectly encouraging Carlotta to do so.

While going through the last turn towards his house, a truck carrying his wine production suddenly appeared from the opposite direction.

With wide eyes, Alessandro tried to dodge. He slammed the steering wheel to the right. His car that was too tight could not be braked at all. Alessandro felt a loud bang and his car drifted for a few seconds which felt like forever. The car eventually stopped turning and touched the ground again in an upside down state.
